Stay In Bed
I’ve seen the writing on the wall
I’ve no interest at all
All I want, is to stay in bed
I don’t see my friends and family
They’re all embarrassed about me
All I want, is to stay in bed
Let me be, let me be
I don’t want to face the world
Leave me here, leave me here
Dreaming ‘bout pretty girls
There’s no safer place to be
I
t can all go to pieces without me
All I want, is to stay in bed
Let me be, let me be
I don’t want to face the world
Leave me here, leave me here
Dreaming ‘bout pretty girls
My Dad says, I should act my age
We’re just, not on the same page
All I want, is to stay in bed
All I want, is to stay in bed

Home Cooking
I had too much coffee this afternoon
I know I won’t sleep tonight
So much jive is going ‘round in my head
It’s making me all uptight
I need some real home cooking
So bring me back home again.
Life can be crazy, that’s for sure
Sometimes I don’t know what to do
But you still gotta live, still gotta love
You gotta play a little music too.
I need some real home cooking
So take me back home again.
(missing verse)
I went down to St Kilda, I was eating French toast
But it just didn’t hit the spot
I drove over to Richmond, bought some Indian food but
It came out a little too hot
I need some real home cooking
So take me back home again.

Jimi’s Goodbye Song
I’m packing my old travelling case
I’ve had my fill of this place
I’m wiping the tears from my face... my face
Time to hit the road again
I’m hitching a ride on some train
Off into the sunset again
I’m singing my favourite refrain
I’m gone, so long, so long
At first I was so hot, gave it my best shot
Been singing the blues...
Then early one morning, without any warning
My friend Mr Booze, came around with the news,
Better dust off my shoes, and play me some blues
On my Gibson guitar,
Dee doodly da dah de dah....
I’m singing my songs in some far off bar.
so long, so long
At first I was so hot, gave it my best shot
Been singing the blues...
Then early one morning, without any warning
My friend Mr Booze, came around with the news,
Better dust off my shoes, and play me some blues
On my old Jazz guitar,
Da de dah....
I’ll be picking my songs in some far off bar.
so long, so long

You got, too much talking
When we’re climbing into bed
I get no loving
And it’s messing with my head
I’d be gone
If this weren’t my idea of fun
You think it’s funny
When I’m pacing ‘round the room
You been laughing
From the cradle to the tomb
I’d be gone
If this weren’t my idea of fun
I’ll pack my case
Take my guitar
And throw them into the boot of my car
I
I’ll go away
But not very far
Cos’ I hate to see you sad
I’d regret you
If it weren’t for your home cooking
I’d forget you
If you weren’t so damn good looking
I’d be gone
If this weren’t my idea of fun
I’ll pack my case
Take my guitar
And throw them into the boot of my car
I’ll go away
But not very far
Cos’ I hate to see you sad
I wanna love you
And I’ll make it nice and slow
I reach out to touch you
And you say …
“You dirty so and so”
I’d be gone
If this weren’t my idea of fun

I got up this morning, My life was on the run
I got up this morning, My life was on the run
I’m not worried
Cos I’m my father’s son
When I was a boy
, couldn’t put the guitar down
When I was a boy
, couldn’t put the guitar down
I can’t help it
I just love the sound
I had my fill of women
who don’t understand
I had my fill of women
who don’t understand
So when they don’t please me
my guitar always can.
They call Dad the Maestro
, I'll be a Maestro too,
They call Dad the Maestro
, I'll be a Maestro too,
I got my Daddy’s hands
And my Daddy’s attitude.
